I've seen both your bike and your car and would agree, you are anything but a snob. When he isn't traveling by bike, the man drives an older Honda
Civic, can't get much more economical then that. And I'm with you, you put forth a simple question which someone turned into a lecture on lifestyles.
The irony is that KurtG already lives that lifestyle, thus his annoyance at being lectured.
Speaking of someone who has a nack for inadvertently annoying people, how are you, my good friend David K?
Nice to see photos of our outting to Santa Maria mission, good times and good memories. You still planning on heading this way next month?

Hi Steve... The money situation is near critical here, and vacations are just a dream. I hope we can come south... a small chance we will assist with
pitting for the Baja 1000 with Elizabeth's son.
Thanks for asking and I hope the invitation will be good for when we can come to La Paz... I think Elizabeth would really enjoy it!

You are always welcome to stay with us, in spite of your political leanings
One of my sons is coming down on his honeymoon and we plan on doing some camping during the Baja 1000, somewhere along the course where it parallels
the Pacific before arriving in La Paz. Perhaps we'll see you out there.

Just your remark was a snob. I am sure that your are not member of www.snob.com but ..........some folks here just plain dont know who you are and the response you gave was indeed a snob job. If you wished a
simple 3 word response to your question...perhaps that should had been stated......this is a place where folks like to talk with details....as you
must have this understanding already from being a long time member of this board. DavidK coming to your defense with all these pictures dont do
erasure of the "simple question not an editorial" remark. |
I do believe if we can see a real person rather than just a typed message, it helps Nomads seem even more human. Afterall, we are all Baja lovers, so
why there is any hate or nastiness posted is beyond me. I wasn't coming to Kurt's defense, as he didn't do anything that required any. Can't you see
why some irritation when one only asks a rather common question, often asked here, only to get those comebacks? Let it go... |
David....
I agree with you 99% of the time. You are all good. But: this is a place of many minds and therefor ways to respond.....the expectations of a perfect
reply to a question submitted.....well....is dreaming! Very very very few answers given in here are open and shut responses.
Given a written response of "simple answer to a simple question not an editorial'.....took as much time to write as it would had been to simply skim
thru the "editorials". Why even bother to say something snobbish? I can post groups pictures here of me.....with other Nomads...but it wont change the
context of the subject.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

bike got a 20% hp boost!

To say nothing of the better gas mileage you must now get on it as well as in your car. But you want to be careful there, Kurt, lose too much weight
and, in addition to sounding like a snob, you might start looking like one. But that's better than looking like a slob (gawd, I hope you have a good sense of humor).
On a serious note, congratulations on dropping the weight. That couldn't have been easy.

Man, I have got to lose a bunch myself... I don't feel fat, but when I see some of my photos recently, it scares me! LOL

So, are we all unemployed, to have so much time on our hands at this time of the day, or do the rest of you work the night shift?

Good one, mcfez (the photo alteration). Had my wife wondering what caused me to laugh so hard. Good thing I didn't have a mouth full of coffee, or I'd
be shopping for a new keyboard today.

David, I'm sure you know that photos add 15-20 pounds to one's appearance, so don't sweat it

No worries on the sense of humor thing, I have always found it easy to laugh at myself. I'm about 2/3's of the way to my goal of losing 75 lb's.
Goal is to reach the same weight I was when I left the Army in 1965, wish I could be in that kind of shape again. As they say "youth is wasted on
the young."

I have learned a valuable lesson from this thread, from here on when I post anything that might be misinterpreted by anybody, anywhere, I will
accompany it with a smiley or two so that I can disarm any critics by accusing them of not recognizing my good-natured intent!
